Green Wing and Free Agents star Stephen Mangan is to play the lead role in BBC4's adaptation of the late Douglas Adams Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Mangan will be joined by Darren Boyd as his sidekick Richard MacDuff and Cold Feet and Friends actor Helen Baxendale, as MacDuff's girlfriend Susan.
Adapted by the Bafta-winning writer Howard Overman – who is also behind Misfits, Vexed and Merlin – Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency follows the exploits of Adams's chaotic character as he uses his unusual methods to solve crimes.
Mangan said: "I've been a fan of Douglas Adams ever since the Hitchhiker's radio series which I used to record as a child and listen to over and over again in my bedroom. It's such a thrill to now be playing one of his brilliant characters.
"Dirk is a chaotic, anarchic force of nature with a totally unique take on the world. He is described as 'lazy, untidy, dismissive and unreliable'. I've absolutely no idea why they thought I'd be right for the role."
The Dirk Gently books have formed the basis of a play and a BBC Radio 4 series but have never before been filmed for TV.
Adams's agent, Ed Victor, said: "For all the years I represented the late, great Douglas Adams, the most substantial frustration for both of us was that we couldn't get films made either of Hitchhiker or Dirk.
"Douglas once said, memorably, that 'getting a film made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a bunch of people come into the room and breathe on it'. Well, we did eventually get a film made in Hollywood of Hitchhiker and, tragically, Douglas didn't live to see it. Nor will he see this adaptation of Dirk – but it's worth bearing in mind that Douglas always thought Dirk would make a better film than Hitchhiker and I feel sure that this new TV drama with a terrific script by Howard Overman will prove his point."
Shooting begins this week in Bristol on the 60-minute drama, which is being made by ITV Studios in association with the Welded Tandem Picture Company.
The Dirk Gently production is to be directed by Damon Thomas – who also directed BBC4 drama The First Men in the Moon – and will air early next year.
阿兹海默症题材。讨论了“病人的尊严和死亡的尊严”的严肃命题。
和《新年前夜》半斤八两的水平。这种比较适合找电视剧的导演来拍。
能大胆说出口的喜欢，能收到回应的喜欢，真好啊。新年快乐。
我要被李光洙笑死了他真的为什么那么好笑宝藏boy啊，姜河那已经很棒了但搞笑还是要论光洙第一啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈～
虽不是烂片，但食之无味。笑不是太好笑。
在清醒时准备好寿衣，在孤独时选择速食爱情，老人家的爱是一同归西，青年间的情是肉体缠绵。本片长镜头极尽写实，但在情感深度和人物塑造上却没有沾到光，矛盾冲突平面化，表演诉求更高。当然全片最大的败笔在最后5分钟，闹鬼一般惊悚的场面实在没必要拿来表现思亲之情。
【2022/01/06 @ 韩剧tv】 为李阵郁看的 韩国版真爱至上
想拍《真爱至上》，结果拍成《全城热恋》，反正不用想都知道，群星荟萃+多线叙述+合家欢贺岁片，现在能好到哪儿去……故事剧本是真的很敷衍很松散，每个人的线都无任何亮点可言，线与线之间的交织也非常弱。但是郭在容的镜头质量，搭配美人+美景，拍得非常唯美，也有不少致敬当年自己《我的野蛮女友》的意思，整体看肯定是能看的，乐呵乐呵就好了，打个及格分刚刚好。
乌克兰社会人的成长和陨落，讲的是故事，反映的是心情。谢佐夫加油
然后主演有一点点诈骗嫌疑
是的，故事有点假，但是，真的很温暖。几段治愈，带你感受人生的真诚和美好。我不太能理解那些说烂的，不和22年华语贺岁档比了，真的垃圾到辣眼睛。至少，本片不输李焕英和西虹市。愿意给4分，但他绝对不止6分，多打1星，希望更多的朋友不要被评分劝退。
我想问下，有谁去站在电影的受害者的角度写个文章？总得有人去为受害者说话。那就我来说
元真儿演技好烂，我老感觉她眼珠要瞪出来了
剧情不断跳跃，加上完全不熟悉演员，人物基本对不上号。特别是开场就来一个大跨越的长镜头，完全没有必要。
新年快乐，元旦就是需要这样没营养但开胃的小菜。
“父母在，人生尚有来处。父母去，人生只剩归途。”阿斯海默症的父亲慢慢不记得自己的女儿，生活不能自理，尤其是大小便失禁之后女儿帮忙清理时情绪的崩溃，很戳心窝子。看电影的时候想起了奶奶，那个时候她已经不记得我，但是拉着我的手说：我孙女媛媛也这么大了，在广州工作呢。
杂乱无趣地看睡着了，也算是在新年拯救了我熬夜的毛病。新年快乐，不要熬夜
一个理想主义的混混终究还是一个混混，乌克兰式的快意恩仇其实跟我们都差不多，人性基调；电影背景显示出这个国家的凋敝，如同上世纪80年代的中国。
桥段太老了，起码稍微翻新一下啊，无聊的大杂烩。
②第一次get到了李栋旭的帅；
